More Than Tree Work

Rooted in Safety. Built on Sobriety.

In The Woods Tree Care was founded in 2025 by Kristie Jones and Travis Moshier, and it was built on more than a passion for tree work. It was built on second chances.

After overcoming addiction and rebuilding our lives, we set out to create a company that reflects the values that got us here: hard work, accountability, honesty, and service to others. Sobriety taught us that you show up, you do what you say, and you do it right. That's exactly how we run every job.

Travis brings more than 20 years of hands-on experience in the tree care industry, and our mission reaches beyond trees. We work to create opportunities for people who are rebuilding their lives, while building a business that makes a positive difference in the Central Minnesota communities we serve.

Professional tree removal and tree care work in Central Minnesota

Tree Removal & Tree Care

Safe tree removal and expert tree care that protects your home, your family, and the long-term health of your landscape.

Tree Removal

Complete tree removal for trees that are too big, too close to structures, diseased, or simply in the way. We plan every cut and control every drop, even in tight spaces near homes, sheds, and power lines.

Hazardous Tree Removal

Cracked trunks, heavy lean, split crotches, and rotting bases put your property at risk. Our hazardous tree removal service takes down high-risk trees carefully, piece by piece when needed.

Dead Tree Removal

Dead and dying trees become brittle and can drop limbs without warning. We remove dead trees before they fail, including those hit by emerald ash borer, disease, or drought.

Emergency Tree Removal

When a tree comes down on a roof, vehicle, driveway, or fence, you need help fast. We respond quickly to emergency tree removal calls to secure the scene and remove the danger.

Tree Care

Healthy trees add shade, beauty, and value to your property. Our tree care services include assessments and maintenance plans that help your trees stay strong through Minnesota winters and summer storms.

Tree Trimming

Professional tree trimming clears branches away from roofs, driveways, and lines, improves sunlight to your lawn, and boosts curb appeal.

Tree Pruning

Proper tree pruning removes dead, crossing, and weak limbs to encourage healthy growth and a stronger structure. Done right, pruning reduces storm damage risk for years.

Storm Cleanup & Property Restoration

Fast, dependable storm cleanup after high winds, heavy snow, ice, and severe weather.

Property Restoration

After the hazards are gone, we finish the job: final cleanup, access restored, and your property returned to a safe, clean, usable condition.

Land clearing and property cleanup project in Central Minnesota

Land Clearing & Stump Removal

Turn overgrown or unusable ground into clean, functional space for building, recreation, or hunting access.

Land Clearing

Complete lot clearing for new construction, driveways, pole barns, food plots, and expanded yards. We clear what you want gone and protect the trees you want to keep.

Brush Clearing

Thick brush and overgrowth take over fence lines, trails, and wooded lots fast. Our brush clearing service opens it back up and hauls the material away.

Stump Removal

Leftover stumps are tripping hazards, mower obstacles, and magnets for pests. We remove stumps so you can reclaim the space.

Stump Grinding

Stump grinding takes the stump down below ground level so you can reseed, landscape, or build over the area. It's the fastest, cleanest way to get rid of a stump.

Questions & Answers

Tree Service FAQs: Central Minnesota

What tree services do you offer in Central MN?

We offer tree removal, tree trimming, tree pruning, hazardous tree removal, dead tree removal, emergency tree removal, storm cleanup, fallen tree removal, storm debris removal, property restoration, land clearing, brush clearing, stump removal, and stump grinding. We serve homeowners, landowners, and businesses throughout Central Minnesota.

Is In The Woods Tree Care insured?

Yes. We're fully insured, so your home and property are protected while we work. Ask us for proof of insurance anytime.

How much does tree removal cost in Central Minnesota?

Tree removal cost depends on the tree's size, condition, location, and how close it is to buildings or power lines. A small, open-yard tree costs far less than a large hazardous tree over a roof. We provide free, no-obligation quotes so you know the exact price before any work begins.

Do you offer emergency tree removal?

Yes. If a storm drops a tree on your home, vehicle, fence, or driveway, call us at (218) 821-2776. We respond as quickly as possible to secure the area, remove the hazard, and prevent further damage.

How do I know if a tree is dangerous and needs to be removed?

Warning signs include a sudden or increasing lean, deep cracks or splits in the trunk, dead or hanging limbs, mushrooms or rot at the base, and missing bark. If you notice any of these, schedule a free assessment. We'll give you an honest answer on whether the tree can be saved or should come down.

When is the best time to trim or prune trees in Minnesota?

Late fall through early spring, while trees are dormant, is usually the best time to prune in Minnesota. Dormant pruning reduces stress on the tree and lowers the risk of disease, especially for oaks, which should not be pruned from April through July to prevent oak wilt. Dead or hazardous branches can be removed any time of year.

What is the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?

Stump grinding uses a machine to grind the stump down below ground level, leaving the roots to decay naturally. Stump removal pulls out the entire stump and main root ball. Grinding is faster, cleaner, and less disruptive for most yards, while full removal is best when you plan to build or dig in that spot.

Do you clean up after the job?

Yes. Cleanup is included on every job. We haul away branches, logs, brush, and debris and leave your property cleaner than we found it.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes. All of our tree service quotes are free with no pressure and no obligation. Call (218) 821-2776 or fill out the form below to schedule yours.
